This story by British writer G. K. Chesterton was fittingly cited in the wikipedia article on ARGs as an early record of the concept behind these kinds of games. For those interested in making a connection between gaming and other more "conventional" forms of storytelling, this short story is worth the read.

An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform, often involving multiple media and game elements, to tell a story that may be affected by participants' ideas or actions.

  This quote was intriguing because that is exactly what a story contains. It is made up of peoples ideas and action. If you think about it, a story is an extended action. I have just came up with this term to describe a sequenced prolonged type of action and when things like this happen, it gives more people a chance to relate to that action.

evolves according to participants' responses, and characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers, as opposed to being controlled by artificial intelligence as in a computer or console video game.

  If you think about it, args are like simulations of real life hence the term. We live in a world full of cause and effect and so what we do now whether it be an individual or everyone affects the future, we make the world and everything else evolve. They mentioned here the "response". You see the response in Normal reality is just as important as the response in alternate reality because without the response, there is nothing to depend on or go forward with. We live in a "tag your it" sort of way..we need something to hold on to.

Rather than openly promoting the game and trying to attract participation by "pushing" it toward potential players, the designers attempted to "pull" players to the story by engaging in over-the-top secrecy
